Several $X$ and $Z_{cs}$ exotic hadrons were claimed in the LHCb's amplitude analysis on $B^+\to J/\psi \phi K^+$. The data shows that all the peaks and also dips in the spectra are located at thresholds of seemingly relevant meson-meson…

A reaction model for $\gamma + p \to J/\psi + p$ photoproduction, which exposes the $c \bar c$ content of the photon in making the transition $\gamma\to c\bar c + \mathbb P \to J/\psi$ and couples the intermediate $c \bar c$ system to the…

The 2015 LHCb discovery of a structure (denoted by $P_c^+$) decaying in $J/\psi \,p$ and conjectured to be a penta-quark state, has triggered a renewed interest in the question of possible existence of multi-quark states not predicted by…

Exotic resonant structures found in $\Lambda^0_b$ and $\overline{B}^0$ decays into charmonium in the LHCb experiment are discussed. Examination of the $J/\psi p$ system in $\Lambda^0_b\to J/\psi K^- p$ decays shows two states each of which…
